Summary
This study tests two versions of a Zoom-based motivational program designed to help young adults (ages 18-25) who drink heavily become more willing and able to intervene when they see a sexual risk situation. One version focuses only on bystander skills; the other also addresses alcohol use. 450 participants will be tracked for 9 months using daily diaries and a virtual reality party simulation to see if the programs actually change behavior.
